The era of non-judgementalism and political correctness was well in place when Bill Clinton escaped the gallows for just those reasons - morals were non-judgmental...I hope we're coming to the end of "scholarly bullies" and other such freebooters in our educational institutions who preach and publish anti-American rubbish and other “the sky is falling” diatribes.

I remember my first tangle with being judgemental.

One of my kids had played hooky for several days in high school at a girls school, expensive, college prep. I was raisiing the roof, called the school asking why I hadn't been told {she was 15}. I then suggested that we devise her punishment, I was ready to ground her for a year and the school told me they had discussed her "bad choice" and that I should sort of butt out, that I was harsh. Now I had worked very hard to pay the very high tuition and I considered her actions something a teen does {did it myself} but I also thought she ought to be aware of how hard we worked to give her that opportunity and how much she had disappointeed us. That is how I think a person acquires a conscience. But the school wanted none of it. They thought this had nothing to do with a conscience or guilt or honesty or human values,,,it was all just a "bad choice".
